    Sorry to hear about Lucille. What wonderful neighbors the Pleskaces were, my dad Ed Fiedler and Paul worked together farming and helping each other. In the early days Paul picked our corn before we got a tractor in 1950. I’ll never forget the smile Lucille always had whenever we met and talked for a little bit. Very wonderful people…..Don

    You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Lucille was always so full of cheer when we visited, good memories when she joined us for family reunions in St. Libory. She will be dearly missed, but there are so many memories to sustain us. We’re vacationing in the south, so we will not be there with you, but be assured that you will be on our minds and in our hearts that day and days to come. Tom and Jeanette Tichenor Derby, KS
